Stevenage FC Eyes Jake Young to Bolster Attack
Stevenage FC is making strategic moves in the transfer market to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season, and their latest target is none other than prolific forward Jake Young. The 22-year-old had an impressive spell at Swindon Town, where he formed a formidable partnership with new Stevenage signing Dan Kemp, contributing significantly to the team’s offensive prowess.
Young, who has shown his goal-scoring abilities in League Two, is seen as a perfect fit for Stevenage’s ambition to push for a higher league finish. His performance at Swindon Town, where he scored 16 goals in 27 appearances alongside Kemp, caught the attention of Stevenage’s management. The potential reunion of these two forwards could bring a new dynamic to Stevenage’s attacking strategy.
Stevenage’s recent signings, including Daniel Phillips from St Johnstone and Louis Appéré from Northampton Town, indicate the club’s focus on bringing in players with a proven track record in the lower leagues. Manager Alex Revell has expressed his intent to build a robust forward line, and Young’s acquisition would align perfectly with this strategy.
In an interview, Revell mentioned, “Dan Kemp and Louis Appéré were specifically targeted for their goal-scoring capabilities. Adding a player like Jake Young, who has proven chemistry with Kemp, would significantly enhance our attacking options.”
The club’s proactive approach in the transfer market underscores their commitment to improving their squad depth and quality. With the potential addition of Young, Stevenage FC aims to build a team capable of competing for promotion and achieving a top-tier finish in the upcoming season.
